Heirloom Turkey Red
Hard Red Winter Wheat
12, 15, 30, or 40 lbs.
​
Our heirloom Turkey Red is now USDA-certified organic! It has a higher percentage of protein than most modern varieties so is a great choice for bread.
Turkey was brought here by German immigrants from Russia in the 1870s. Most modern hybrid varieties in the United states came from Turkey Red. Because it has not been hybridized, it may be easier to digest than the modern hybrid varieties. Not for people with a SEVERE wheat allergy.

Stone Ground Flour​
From our Organic Turkey Red
​
Turkey Red wheat is normally higher in protein than most other hard red winter wheat varieties, so it is an excellent choice for making whole wheat bread!
It has a lovely nutty flavor and because we grind it ourselves, you can be assured that the flour contains all the healthy nutrition of the bran, endosperm and germ. Treat yourself and your loved ones to the authentic taste of the late 1800s!​​
​
Because whole wheat flour has all the naturally occurring, oil-rich germ still present, it can go rancid. We recommend storing flour in the refrigerator or freezer.

Product Packaging
WHEAT
One of the biggest problems with storing wheat is that bugs, like people, love to eat! Certain bugs love grain and flour. Also like us, insects need oxygen to live. Our packaging process removes the oxygen from the bags so . . .
no oxygen--no bugs!
​
We vacuum-pack our wheat by flushing the oxygen from the bag with food-grade carbon dioxide which is found
naturally in the atmosphere and is completely safe. We use the same type of carbon dioxide that makes pop fizzy! The bags are then heat-sealed. This is an excellent method for people who are interested in long-term storage. We have been doing this over 20 years and have never had bugs or molds of any type. The food-grade carbon dioxide removes all the oxygen while the heat-sealing technique we use keeps them out! ​​
​
​30 Lb. RESEALABLE BUCKET
​
​30 Lb. bags are packaged the same way our other sizes are but after vacuum-packing and heat-sealing the bag, it is placed in a food-grade 5 gallon bucket and sealed with a tamper-resistant lid. Why? Because buckets are easy to carry and are re-usable for lots of things besides wheat! ​
​​
FLOUR
Our flour is packaged in a zip-lock freezer bag, then in a paper bag which we stitch shut. The stitching assures that your flour has not been opened during shipping. We use the freezer bags for 2 reasons:
​
-
They're easily resealable.
-
The plastic bags keep food odors out.
-
Plastic doesn't tear as easily as paper.
-
Freezer bags are relatively in-expensive and also re-usable for your freshly baked bread product!
-
Lastly, we like them and use them for our flour.​​
